The man turned to me upon hearing my voice, smiling at me, “You’re back!”

I almost threw myself at him for a hug, but seeing the situation, I retracted my arms. That was awkward.

It wasn’t Ding Yinuo.

It was Ding Xiao.

He was holding some supplements, placing them in the fridge.

“Uh, big brother, why are you buying so much bird’s nest?”

Yet, Ding Xiao’s smile was exceptionally radiant.

“Anuo is coming back!”

“What?”

“Miss Jiang called back, said they are booking the flight tickets. If nothing goes wrong, they should be home by this Wednesday.”

“Really?”

“Yes! Mom also knows, and she bought a lot of supplements, told me to deliver them here. She also asked me to find time to clean up the house, using pomelo leaves to ward off bad luck.”

No wonder I saw so many pomelo leaves on the shoe rack earlier.

I nodded happily,

“Good, good! We need to ward off the bad luck.”

Ding Yinuo is better!

He is coming back!

A ray of light finally shone into my previously cold heart.

The news of Ding Yinuo’s return was indeed joyous.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

We all gathered, discussing how to welcome Ding Yinuo back.

I also took time to clean the house thoroughly.

Su Peisheng and other childhood friends of Ding Yinuo, upon hearing of his imminent return, came over every day.

Excitedly discussing the celebration feast for Yinuo’s return.

And at this time, Su Peisheng gave me a shocking piece of news,

“Song Xiaoyun, tomorrow is the day of the Golden Bay arson trial. Do you want to come and watch?”

I hadn’t spoken yet when Wenya answered for me,

“Go, of course go. She must go.”

I nodded,

“Yes, I will go!”

This case was of my highest interest; I was definitely going to go.

No matter what the outcome…

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Su Peisheng patted my shoulder, giving me a meaningful look,

“Well… you should be mentally prepared. The case might turn out beyond your expectations.”

At that time, I still didn’t realize the brutality of this case; I thought Su Peisheng was just comforting me as a lawyer usually would in day-to-day life.

I smiled and nodded,

“I’ve been through every terrible thing there is! What’s there to be afraid of.”

I was actually thinking.

I knew all the ins and outs of this case.

Now, going to see the trial was just to witness the final full stop being put on this matter.

The next morning, I also went to the company to get all my work in order.

Then Wenya came to pick me up in her car.

“You’re going too?”

“I’m free today, figured I’d accompany you for a look!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Wenya had recently gotten a new car, a gift from Su Peisheng, a red BMW.

Wenya really liked this car and was happy to drive it all over the place.

At the red light, Wenya suddenly asked me,

“What do you think, President Ding’s situation, no matter how I think about it, it does not sit right with me!”

“What doesn’t sit right with you?”

“Him! I’m asking you, has President Ding ever called you?” Wenya suddenly inquired.

I thought about it and shook my head.

Because I always assumed he was in a vegetative state, I didn’t notice anything amiss when he didn’t call me.

“What about text messages? WeChat messages, has he sent you any?”

“Of course not!”

“That’s damn strange, if he really recovered, woke up, and is able to speak and move, why hasn’t he called you?”

Wenya’s questioning.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Made me start to seriously consider this question.

Upon thinking about it, it did indeed seem problematic.

Yeah, why hasn’t he contacted me?

Before he left for the United States, although he couldn’t speak, he could write words in the palm of my hand to communicate with me.

Why is it that now he has recovered, he’s ignoring me instead?

After thinking for a long time, I finally said to Wenya,

“What do you think is the possibility?”

Wenya said,

“I feel, for sure, it’s that bitch Jiang Jiaying making trouble. She’s the one not letting him contact you!”

“Indeed, that’s a possibility, but it doesn’t matter. After all, he’s coming back the day after tomorrow, and by then, Jiang Jiaying won’t be able to do anything bad anyway.”

“That’s true, let’s not bother with it!”

In fact, I was completely helpless; it was Jiang Jiaying who took him to get medical treatment, and there was nothing I could do.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

However, Wenya couldn’t let go of this issue and kept muttering about it all the way.

“I’ll remind you, once Ding Yinuo gets back, you need to assert your authority as his lawful wife and make that Jiang bitch keep her distance.”

“Uh, isn’t that a bit extreme?”

“A bit extreme? Don’t forget, back in high school, Jiang Jiaying had already snatched away Ding Yinuo. This woman is definitely not as docile as she appears.”

“Hmm, alright, we’ll see when Ding Yinuo gets back.”

After being reminded by Wenya, I also tried to open my phone and scrolled through Ding Yinuo’s WeChat Moments.

It was still blank.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the courthouse.

Compared to Gu Yuanzhou’s trial last time, this trial of Damaha attracted absolutely no attention.

The entrance of the courthouse was deserted, not a soul in sight.

Wenya was a little surprised,

“It seems like no one is paying attention to the Golden Bay case anymore.”

“People are forgetful, not to mention… when Gu Yuanzhou was sentenced to death, everyone had already had their celebration. They probably think it’s over.”

“Ah, that makes sense!”

Walking into the courthouse, we saw Su Peisheng hastily rushing out.

Wenya asked, “Why are there so few people?”

“That’s normal, the court usually looks like this. Besides lawyers and police, there aren’t too many people. Gu Yuanzhou’s was an extraordinary case; it’s not something that happens all the time. Come on, let’s go inside!”

Because there were so few people, the public gallery had only Wenya and me in it.

For some reason, when the judge came in, I felt as if I was back to the day of Gu Yuanzhou’s trial.

I stared blankly at the defendant’s seat, my expression absent…

I don’t know what I was thinking, lost in a trance until Wenya nudged me with her hand.

I finally came back to reality.

I looked at her blankly,

“What’s up?”

“Look at Damaha, what is he saying?”

With Wenya’s reminder, I realized that the trial had entered a crucial part.

At this moment, the judge was questioning Damaha, “Please describe the process of the crime in detail.”

The man sitting in the defendant’s seat, Damaha, had his head shaved, perhaps just out of a coma as he appeared quite pale.

However, regarding the question posed by the judge, he was able to describe in detail,

“I had scouted the place beforehand. After seeing the male homeowner leave, I guessed there would be no one else in the Gu Family home. I sneaked in and manually shut off the fire alarm system, then went to the kitchen and opened the gas stove… Waiting for the fire to start, I left through the rooftop.”

Hearing Damaha describe this, I felt as if my heart was being pricked by needles.

I really wanted to rush out and strangle this man.

I was trembling with anger; Wenya firmly held onto me, “Ayun, don’t make a scene; this is a courtroom.”

She said it several times, and Su Peisheng also quietly turned his head to look at me.

He wasn’t the lawyer for today, merely there to accompany us through the proceedings.

“Ahem, Miss Song, he’s supposed to confess the mastermind today…”

His words instantly calmed me down.

The mastermind!!

Yes, I had always been suspecting Gu Yuanzhou as the mastermind.

The purpose of today’s visit was to hear him reveal this final answer, so I could finally let go.

So, I shifted my focus back to Damaha.

The judge asked again,

“Did you commit arson intentionally because you had a grudge against the homeowner, or was it for the sake of monetary gain? You’d better confess truthfully, as leniency is shown to those who do.”

Damaha shook his head,

“I have no grudge against the homeowners, I was acting under someone’s orders!”

“Whose orders were you acting under?”
